“No,” replied Lincoln, “he’ll still have four, because calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it one.”

“If you tend to focus on the particular events in your life, try to put things into perspective.

Throughout everything, his faith enabled him to maintain perspective. He realized that as long as he was doing what he was supposed to do, his being labeled success or failure by others really didn't matter.”
